I concur...especially about the MK3 holoprojectors which create a gear bottleneck at G7-G8, which was understandable for when the game was released with Level 60 as the max. But currently we don't need it anymore....
And as well for the raid drops - have gotten Nubian Scanners from 5 of the last 6 raids which currently aren't needed by any of my heroes and on the flip side you could give me 15 furnances right now and they probably wouldn't be enough....
But hey, so what - the important thing is that I have 2,7k MK4 stun guns, which cost 1400 gems for a fully crafted one in shipments which means that I've gotten gear with a total worth of 75 600 gems for free from challenges....so everything is right in the galaxy, right? :)
